Narrow gauge railway

Other private interest companies such as Rankin Bros. subcontracting with Conger Lumber and later the Mitchell-MacDonald Company that started in 1898. Through to the 1920s, Mitchell-MacDonald Co. have a wood mill strategically placed about 1.5 km west of train tracks on the north side. They brought the logs from Crane into Blackstone by a small steamboat through the Blackstone River. From there they were taken up the Blackstone River portion that connects Blackstone Lake with Third Lake. Sometimes a dam was used on the Blackstone Creek just up stream of the Blackstone Creek bridge. When the river becomes to difficult to float logs a narrow gauge track was used with small cars being hauled by horses. Once on Third Lake they were floated across the lake to the other side and finally up a hill to the mill. Again, to get the logs up this steep hill narrow gage rail tracks, cars and horses were used. Barricades were place in the Blackstone River between Blackstone Lake and Crane Lake to form a set of locks thus elevating the logs into the same level of Blackstone. These were placed in two different spots in the river on either side of the water spring at Galloway 's. On opening the barricade, the logs would flow in to Blackstone. A boat wanting to go from Crane into Blackstone at this time would have to remove the logs in the barricade and put them back in place on the way through.

The most difficult part is turning around and going back. Since we have already gone up that harsh ascent, we know how laborious the descent will be. Still, no matter how difficult it is, we must finish it. We begin our decline. We run back through the thin path, narrowly missing the trees as our speed quickly picks up. I am screeching. I do not want to collapse as I run down this steep and narrow hill. Abruptly, the path widens again and we are on flat ground. I am relieved for a second, and…

the lip-loaded cantilever and use that to calculate the Poisson ratio for the material in this case 6061-T6 aluminum. This was done by having to different objectives for each part of the Lab. Part one was use electrical resistance strain gage, this was to measure the strain a cantilever beam as it undergoes a known deflection. We would then compare the measurements with that of the strains predicted by simple beam theory [1]. The objective for part two was to use two electrical resistance strain…
